I am using mplayer under Win XP (the most recent version from the smplayer-portable package). It looks like it's fairly recent judging from the SVN revision but I'm not sure if it's 1.1 yet (is there a 1.1 based binary build for Win32 yet?) Here is the output:

If I play the same URL in other apps, like Chrome or VLC, and configure the proxy settings in there it works just fine. Also no problem if I play the redirect URL with mplayer directly.
